WASHINGTON, June 24.—(LP)—
President Hoover today denounced
the pending World War veterans
bill In vigorous language which In-
dicated his intention to veto the
legislation.
The senate passed the bill last
night by a vo^ of 66 to G and the
house which previously pussed the
measure Is expected to accept tho
senate amendment toduy and send
the bill to the White House.
However, house leaders hoped to
forestall this action and announced
shortly after Mr. Hoover’s state-
ment that they would propose at a
republican caucus tonight u com-
promise In the form of a straight
out pension bill.
This compromise bill, presented
early In the sesslou by Representa-
tive Swick, republican, Pennsylva-
nia, was rejected by the house
when the matter of compensation
first came up for consideration. It
would provide regular pensions
for certain disabled veterans rath-
er than authorize immediate re-
cognition of compensation claims.
Mr. Hoover spoke i na forceul
tone while delivering his attack
upon the veterans bill. His lan-
guage and delivery indicated he
was thoroughl) aroused.
"The veterans bill,” he said, "la
bad legislation. It is no more in
the Interest of the veteran than !t
Is In the interests of the taxpay-
ers."
Describing the hill as wasteful
and discriminatory, Mr. Hoover
said It was a very had thing for
the government to sot a standard
of subterfuge for tho people.”
El Reno and Canadian county
residents continued to perspire to-
day as the scorching heat wavo
maintained Its grip over the com-
munity. The mercury has been
hovering near the 100-degree mark
for several days.
A light shower early this morn-
ing brought relief for a few hour.;,
but the hot sun soon sent the
mercury soaring again by mid-
forenoon. Although the wheat
and oats harvest has been pro-
gressing rapidly during tho heat
wave, other crops are beginning
to need rain. Tho hot sun and
winds have taken much of the
moisture out of the soli.
Central and Southwest Hit
CHICAGO, June 24—(IP) -
Scorching boat that curled crops
In the central west and took
more than a score of lives in the
last 24' hours, was tempered to-
day by cooling winds.
Riding In from the southwest
where new heat records were set
over tho week-end, hot winds made
hotter by a brollng sun descended
yesterday on the midwest to drive
temperatures to new heights for
last 17 years.
In Chicago, where 13 deaths
were traced directly to the torrid
wave, tho mecury touched 97
lake yesterday. Tousands moved
to tho parks to sleep, beaches were
crowded late into the night and
charity was called on to deliver
Ice and milk to the poor In tho
tenement Districts.
Early today, however, the tem-
perature was driven to 85, com-
paratively cool weather after the
sweltering day and night, and the
weather bureau held out hopes
that clouds would mask the in-
tense-heat of the bur today.
The deaths In Chicago were di-
vided with nine fatal prostrations
and four drowntngs. From far-
ther west came reports of four
drownings In Paxton. Neb., four in
Iowa, ono in Illinois and one In
Missouri.

Tecumseh to Improve
Water Works System
THSOUMGEH, Okla.. June 24—
(IP)—The way was opened recent-
ly to give Tecumseh, one of the
best waterworks and power sys-
tems In the state when a bona
issue to secure $15,000 for im-
provements carried by a large
majority. The bond Issue was
made necessary after tho city was
forced to pay moro for the land
on which the project Is to be lo-
cated than was originally esti-
mated. A .
The general topic of discussion
around the court house this week
is whether or not county officer:;
und deputies whose salaries will
be cut as a result of tho county’s
Increase in population will have
to refund to the county the ex-
cess salary paid them since April
1 of this year.
County officials and lawyers
have been delving into law books
the last two days, In search of de-
cisions which might apply to this
situation. Most of the officers
are of the opinion that the offi-
cers, deputies and assistants can
not be compelled to refund the
excess salary. A few supreme
court decisions have been found
which hold that when an employe
has performed his work under an
existing law or contract he can not
be made to pay It back.
It is probable that these deci-
sions will be cited to the attorney
general and he will be asked for
another ruling. The attorney
general ruled last week that the
excess salaries would have to bo
refunded to the county.
